LARAMIE, Wyo. (Sept. 23, 2026) – The Wyoming Cowgirls return to action with their second fall tournament of the season this weekend down to the Air Force Academy for the annual Bedford Cup. The tournament will run from September 25 to the 27th.
The Cowgirls are coming off a solid opening weekend to fall play at the Colorado State Jon Messick Invitational last week. Anastasiia Kochelaevskaia won the Flight A bracket at the tournament while in Flight D, Dilnaz Mashabayeva and Ivona Ridan made it to the championship match but did not play one another. Ridan went 3-0 at the tournament last week to open her UW career.
Mashabayeva went 2-0 at the invite last week while Silver Bijlsma, Eugenia Ceinos, Zlata Nesterova and Ruby Young also picked up singles victories. In doubles, the teams of Kochelaevskaia and Young and Madlena Orlova and Mashabayeva each earned a win over the weekend.
The Bedford Cup will be the second of five fall competitions for Wyoming and its final tune-up before October's ITA Mountain Regional Championships hosted by BYU.
